Josh AllenQBBUF

Josh Allen is going at 37 overall as QB1, approximately 28–30 spots ahead of QB2 (Joe Burrow), the largest QB1-to-QB2 gap in recent memory. The source acknowledges Allen could return value at this price but emphasizes the opportunity cost: at pick 37, you're passing up potential top-five wide receivers and running backs. The source leans toward waiting on QB rather than taking Allen here, though acknowledges the counter-argument that Allen's scoring upside justifies the early pick.
